Merlin is my companion and my familiar. So, I figured that his name should be the title of this Witch's room. I'm going to post spells, both new and well used ones, and all kinds of information on the craft. I'm a 5th generation Witch, so I have a lot of older learning that I would love to pass on. Come in, have a cup of tea, pet my cat, and maybe learn something along the way

Who comes to me, I keep. Who goes from me, I free. Yet against all I stand who do not carry my key.

Use this as an inscription over a threshold with three pine cones hung loose to blow in the wind.

SPELL TO BLESS A NEW RELATIONSHIP

Bake a fresh loaf of bread. Hold it up to the moon and ask the lady to bless the bread as well as the relationship. Break off a piece of the bread for your partner, as well as one for yourself as well. As you share time together, share the bread as well.

Do not cut the bread with a knife or any other cutting tool. Just break off the pieces with your hands.

Adding butter or jam might be a good idea to help sweeten things up a bit.

Summer is the perfect time to be outside with your kids in the yard and garden. But have you ever taken a check of the plants in your yard to make sure they’re safe for your kids to be around?

Some everyday plants sold at your local nursery and found in the woods may be dangerous if curious children touch the leaves or put them in their mouths, so it’s a good idea to know which plants are in your yard.

Here are some of the most common plants that can be dangerous to pets, children or yourself.

Poison Ivy, Poison Sumac, Poison Oak

Dangerous to Touch

These three plants are commonly found in the backyard and release an oil (urushiol) when the leaf or other part of the plant are bruised, damaged or burned. When it comes in contact with skin, the oil causes an allergic reaction characterized by an itchy red rash, bumps and blisters. To help children identify these plants, teach them the simple phrase, “Leaves of three, let them be.”More information about the description and location of these plants can be found on the Center For Disease Control website. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/plants/

Oleander

Dangerous to Touch or Ingest

One of the most commonly grown toxic plants, every bit of the oleander plant is harmful. Typical symptoms of ingestion include a change in heart rate, nausea, vomiting and central nervous system reactions such as tremors, seizures and collapse. Ingesting a single leaf has proven to be deadly for infants or toddlers. Touching a plant results in the release of a nectar that once on the hands, can easily be transferred to the mouth with harmful effects.

Lily of the Valley

Dangerous to Ingest

Also known as mayflowers, these drooping, white fragrant flowers are found in shady, moist areas. The tiny bell-shaped flowers can cause nausea, vomiting, pain and diarrhea when ingested in large amounts. Heart irregularities are also a potential problem.

Hydrangeas

Dangerous to Ingest

These puffy pink, blue or white flowered bushes are commonly used in landscaping and as cut flowers. The blooms will cause stomach pain if ingested and possibly itchy skin, weakness and sweating as well as a possible breakdown in the body’s blood circulation.

Peonies

Dangerous to Ingest

These beautiful blossoms can reach up to 13 cm in diameter and appear in all shades of red, pink and white. Commonly cultivated in gardens, ingestion can result in vomiting and accelerated heartbeat.

Narcissus

Dangerous to Ingest

Also known as daffodils and jonquils, these beautiful yellow flowers have bulbs that can be toxic. Ingestion can cause nausea, stomach pain, cramps and diarrhea. The bulbs are easily confused with onions and this is commonly how ingestion occurs.

Rhododendron

Dangerous to Ingest

Rhododendron and azaleas are common landscaping bushes with beautiful flowers and an evergreen shrub. The leaves and the honey nectar made from the flowers are both toxic if ingested and can cause irregular heart rates, increased salivation and nausea.

Water Hemlock

Dangerous to Ingest

Called the most “violently toxic plant that grows in North America” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ingesting only a small amount of the toxic substance of this plant can produce poisoning in humans and pets. Water hemlock has small, white flowers that grow in form umbrella-like clusters and the plant grows in wet seepage areas. Its poison works directly on the central nervous system and cause violent convulsions, seizures and even death.

Castor-bean plants

Dangerous to Ingest

These green and reddish plants can be purchased at nearly any garden center, but contain the deadly poison ricin in the seeds. This poison has been widely used as a toxin and is harmful if ingested, causing nausea, diarrhea and potential heart irregularities. Ingestion of several castor-bean seeds could lead to death.

Anthurium

Dangerous to Ingest

These unique looking plants with dark green, heart-shaped leaves and a red, white or green spike surrounded by a red, pink or white “spathe” are toxic if ingested. Symptoms include stomach pain, nausea and vomiting.

Foxglove

Dangerous to Ingest

This beautiful plant grows up to three feet tall with drooping purple, pink or white flowers along a central stalk. Ingestion of the plant can cause heart problems after nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Interestingly, the leaves of the plant are a commercial source for some heart drugs.

Delphiniums

Dangerous to Ingest

Also known as larkspur, Delphinium features blue and white flowers and are often used by florists to represent love. The flower has been used for medicinal purposes and to repel pests, but consumption in large amounts can be poisonous.

Wisteria

Dangerous to Ingest

This cascading blue, pink or white flower is found predominately in the South and Southeast. It grows mainly on woody vines and can be seen climbing in trees or arbors. Ingesting this plant can cause nausea, vomiting, cramps and diarrhea.

Chrysanthemum

Dangerous for Pets

Commonly seen in the fall, and known as “mums,” these flowers appear in a variety of colors (red, yellow, white, purple, varied). For children, touching them may cause an allergic reaction on the skin. For your pets, however, ingestion can be very harmful causing nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and incoordination.

A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.” The biker pulled over and said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.”

The Lord said, “Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for Me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind.”

The biker thought about it for a long time and finally said, “Lord, I wish that I and all men could understand our wives. I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy.”

…and the Lord replied, “Do you want two lanes or four on that bridge?”

I know I have been ignoring you guys, but I'm working on costumes for Shore Leave. I've decided to take two different ones.

The star trek costume, and a Steampunk one! But I got problems.

1. the red star trek costume is "form fitting" in other words a smidge to tight for my comfort. I DO NOT LIKE my bulges showing. And there is no way I can get one size up since EVERY SINGLE WEB SITE THAT SELLS THE IS "SOLD OUT"!!!!

So I finally found one on Amazon.com.... it's a "Plus" size, and that means it will be waaaaaayyyyy to BIG!

BUT, it is easier to take in the seams then to add on to the seams. Everyone was saying the 1st one looked fine, but I'm just not into form fitting. I like things a tiny bit loose and comfortable, and that baby was not comfortable!

Steampunk is harder, but easier at the same time. With Star Trek you have to have an "exact" costume.... with steampunk it's "Victorian England as in Jules Vern's day!"

Very Victorian with steam weapons and such.

I had a long black velvet skirt, to this I added an embroidered blouse in rustic green, and a shawl of the same fabric. Then boots, a bustle, and some kind of hat!

So far I've got the blouse and skirt. I'm making fingerless lace gloves, then I have to figure out HOW THE FUCK TO MAKE A BUSTLE!!!

I bought a bunch of black satin fabric, and I'm sure I'll figure it out, even if I just wrap it around me and end it in a huge bow!

I'm not going "upper class" victorian, but more "working class" cause, no one, no where is getting me to wear something tight around my neck!!!! Total phobia about that!!!

I also got some extra black lace, stiff, to make a hat of some kind, I have lots of feathers to attach to it, and even a small Vail.

So please excuse me for a while. Shore Leave is only 30 days away!!!!! MUST WORK HARDER!!!! GIGGLE
